Importantly, autism care starts from the inner circle. Rather than relying solely on teachers, doctors, social workers or other caregivers, family-centred interventions are an essential part of a holistic, sustainable approach to autism care.

Yet, a lot of the knowledge that we need to action this often sits behind walls, available only to the few. At Autism Spectrum Reach, we believe that education should be a right, not a privilege. We break down these walls by sharing important information about autism for free in multiple languages.

We partner with researchers and experts internationally, contributing to science-backed studies that aim to improve the daily lives of autistic people. We have recently supported studies into the social condition of autism, as well as the Birkbeck University of London team’s research into early marker tools that aim to provide earlier autism diagnosis.

Similarly, we’ve been working with researchers on studies that support our six pillars of care, such as studies by the University of Cambridge on the impact of food and nutrition on cognitive development.

We’re always looking for new ways that our organisation can help improve the quality of life of autistic people. The Autism Spectrum Reach community itself is an incomparable platform that provides powerful global autism data, indispensable to researchers all over the world.

We work with local organisations around the world, assisting them in finding ways to broaden the understanding of autism in their communities.

For example, we collaborate in organising important awareness events, connecting the community with specialist speakers and experts who can support them in their understanding of autism and holistic care.

We create information packs for remote communities with little to no access to electricity and online knowledge, so they can manage their own autism interventions and strategies for their children.  

We also help upskill local healthcare professionals on new, evidence-based methods for autistic children and provide transport links for children to reach specialists.
